Congratulations are in order for senior Brittney Smith, who has been named one of 30 national candidates for the Lowe's Senior Class Award, which celebrates excellence across the "Four C's" of Competition, Classroom, Community and Character.
The award gets a lot of submissions from across the 300+ schools that play Division I basketball and Brittney was chosen as one of 30 candidates. The list will be pared to 10 finalists in January.
Read the full release here and check out Brittney's profile here and the rest of the candidates here.
We're really proud of Brittney because she truly has been excellent in all four of these areas. We're also even more proud of the fact that she is our third candidate for this award in the last four seasons. Sydney Scott ’08 was a candidate in 2008 and Koren Schram ’09 was one of the 10 national finalists in 2009.
In my memory there have been maybe 1 or 2 other Ivy players in that timespan and I really can't imagine another mid-major (non-BCS) school that has produced the same amount as Dartmouth has. To me, it's a real testament to this program that not only are we winning on the court, but our players are excelling in the classroom, are involved and upstanding members of their community and are high-character young women.
This award is really one of the best in sports. I enjoy reading the other profiles as well because there are a lot of impressive men and women on those top-30 candidate lists.
Just six days til the season opener at Northwestern!
